Feel Burning during urination, Urinary Tract Infection

Posted: Apr 13, 2011 |Comments: 0 |

Many men believe that this only occurs in women and that they should not worry. Nothing wrong, for having sex without a condom and inadequate hygiene can cause this problem, which is annoying and dangerous if not treated.

It is true that the female anatomy is more prone to bacteria, fungi and viruses from attacking your urinary system (responsible for the elimination of urine), and maybe that's why many men do not have the same habits and care to prevent infection, but This does not mean they should ignore and forget to take appropriate hygiene measures, for by so they can avoid painful consequences, uncomfortable and risky, especially in the long term.

In fact, statistics show that urinary tract infections affect 20% of women between 20 and 50 years, and only 0.1% of males in same age range, but also make clear that the male has increased on the incidence of these from the fifth decade of life, due to the aging process is accompanied by circumstances that hinder the passage of urine and promote growth of microorganisms, such as enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia) or inflammation (prostatitis), without forgetting that the channels through which liquid waste traveling abroad may hinder their ability (urethral stricture).

In other words, the problems caused by the passage of time are unavoidable in many cases, but if the man has proper hygiene habits, learned from childhood, adolescence and adulthood may reduce the risk of such infections not only at present, but during their old age.


How come?
It is worth remembering that the male urinary system consists of several segments designed to store and expel urine from the body. In the highest part of the system (upper airway) are the kidneys which produce urine by filtering waste and water from the blood. These organs are connected to the bottom (lower airways) through two narrow tubes, ureters, leading to tiny waste container like a balloon, the bladder. Finally, at the bottom of this compartment is a small tube called the urethra, which carries waste to the outside of the body after traveling through the prostate.

That said it is possible to understand that infectious agents that cause these diseases can enter the urinary system in two ways:
* Lower end of the urethra. The opening at the tip of the penis is the "gateway" most frequent fungi and bacteria that try to move into the bladder. It is true that most of the time the organisms fail this goal because the canal is very long (much shorter in women, and hence its vulnerability) and because pressure expels urine. However, there are times when these natural defenses fail and have any infection caused by having sex without condom protection, lack of hygiene and contamination by microorganisms from the anal region.
* Blood flow. Although much rarer, is the likely cause of the problem go directly to the kidneys via the bloodstream. In these cases the causative agents are usually generated by organisms such as malaria ("yellow fever" that transmit some mosquitoes) and even some worms after moving through veins and arteries are housed in the urinary system.

Moreover, it should be noted that infectious diseases of the urinary system are classified according to the region where it is located, then distinguishing five types of ailments then the man who described in detail.

Prevention Is it possible?
Fortunately, yes. Not only that, it is relatively simple because it only requires a bit of willpower and changing habits. To achieve this, the most common measures are:

* Drinking water according to the requirements of the (eight glasses of water a day) for the constant flow of urine and remove bacteria from the urethra. This measure also helps prevent the formation of kidney stones.
* No "resist the urge" to urinate.
* Wash hands before and after using the bathroom.
* Wear cotton underwear and not interchangeable.
* Use a condom during all sexual encounters, particularly when we have anal sex.
* A person with urinary tract infection should abstain from sex and restart his practice until the doctor.

Remember that these measures, which have become habits, can prevent many problems not only in young men but also older men. Although some people may seem difficult to follow at first, with the passage of time will become easier.
